don't cheap out on boots, get something that fits. There is nothing worse than skiing with boots that don't fit

if there is ONE piece of ski gear that you SHOULD NOT cheap out on, it would be boots. If you have uncomfortable or poor fitting boots than it can seriously damage your toes, shins, and pretty much every part of your foot.

buy cheap skis or outerwear. dont go half-ass on boots

i have the technica agents... DONT BUY THEM. THEY ARE AWFUL.  my ankle pain every day is rediculous, and shin bang is right at home in these.  a bunch of kids i know have them (only park boot our shop carries) and everyone hates them.  just warning you...

Spks or technica agents, both match your price range. Go to a shop an get fitted, then buy them online for half the price

please dont, its the end of the season most places, most shops are having closeout, dont waste their time if you have no intention of buying, and dont be afraid to ask, cause a lot of shop will price match

As already mentioned, Dalbello has good boots that are not too expensive. Look into the Krypton Rampage (narrow fit) and Voodoo (wider fit).

But remember that fit is the most important thing. If a boot doesn't fit you, don't buy it. It's that simple.
